Add roles and features wizard windows 10

Как известно, Windows 10 отличается набором компонентов от предыдущих версий операционных систем Windows. Зачастую требуется их включить или выключить, чтобы они не потребляли системные ресурсы, да и просто не мешали. В этой статье мы рассмотрим как это сделать быстрее и эффективнее.

Начнем с того, что существует два основных способа работы с компонентами (они еще называются features) — утилита DISM и командлеты Powershell. И то и другое встроено в Windows 10, в отличие от Windows 7, где dism можно было добавить или установив пакет Windows ADK, или руками скопировав dism.exe с другого компьютера.

Сразу отмечу, что утилиту dism и среду powershell для работы с системой необходимо запускать от имени администратора, даже если ваш аккаунт уже находится в группе локальных админов. Итак, вы или находите cmd или windows powershell в меню и, кликнув правой кнопкой мышки, выбираете «Запуск от имени администратора«.

Capabilities — это дополнительные возможности, которые расширяют возможности интерфейса и увеличивают удобство пользователя. Среди них — Language packs, наборы шрифтов. Да, Microsoft удалил часть нестандартных шрифтов, которые теперь вынесены в опциональные компоненты. Скачать эти компоненты можно в виде ISO файла с сайта Volume Licensing Service Center или напрямую через Internet и графический интерфейс Windows. Такую концепцию Microsoft назвала Features on Demand (FOD). Их в более ранних версия Windows не было.

Работаем с Windows Features

Итак, список установленных компонентов можно посмотреть командой

Dism /online /Get-Features

Вот как в Powershell можно получить список всех компонентов командлетами Get-WindowsFeature (для Windows Server) или Get-WindowsOptionalFeature (Windows 10):

Чтобы получить список отключенных компонентов, введите:

Этот список также можно вывести в файл (для windows Server):

Посмотрев список названий и их состояние, можно использовать эти названия для того, чтобы компоненты включить или выключить:

Dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TFTP /All

ключ /All позволяет включить также все дочерние компоненты;

Установка компонентов через Powershell выполняется командой Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature.

Dism /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:TFTP

Обратите внимание, некоторые фичи имеют разные названия в Windows 7 и Windows 10. Например, RSAT в Windows 7 — это RemoteServerAdministrationTools, а в Windows 10 — RSATclient.

Управление Features on Demand (FOD)

Если вы устанавливаете их через графический интерфейс, то вам необходимо пройти “System –> App & features –> Manage optional features” и нажать знак + напротив необходимых компонентов.

Чтобы сделать это автоматизированно через командную строку, наберите чтобы получить список доступных компонентов:

DISM.EXE /Online /Get-Capabilities

DISM.EXE /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:NetFx3

Если же у вас нет доступа в Интернет, то есть выход. Итак, вы скачиваете ISO образ диска с FOD компонентами с сайта Volume Licensing Service Center. Файлы будут разные для разных релизов Windows 10 — 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709. Важно помнить, что компоненты одного релиза не подходят к другому. Если вы сделаете in-place upgrade (установка одного релиза поверх другого через обновление), то несовместимые установленные компоненты будут удалены без вашего желания! Да, Microsoft удаляет то, что считает несовместимым при обновлении.

Так вот, ISO файл содержит набор неизвестных и сложных для понимания файлов с расширением cab. Вот чудесный файлик на сайта Microsoft, который обясняет назначение каждого файла. Итак, существуют следующие типы FOD:

Итак, для добавления таких FOD компонентов, используйте команды вида (замените имя компонента):

Dism /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Language.Basic

Dism /Online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:Language.Basic

Установка и переустановка пакетов языков (Language Interface Packs, LIP)

Язык интерфейса Windows можно поменять, установив так называемые LIP. ранее они назывались MUI (Multi user interface). Файлы LIP выглядят так: Microsoft-Windows-Client-Language-Pack_x64_es-es.cab для испанского языка. Выглядеть установка будет примерно так:

Dism /Add-Package /online /PackagePath:»C:LanguagesMicrosoft-Windows-Client-Language-Pack_x64_fr-fr.cab»

Dism /Remove-Package /online /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package

В следующей статье мы поговорим как с помощью DISM и Powershell управлять так называемыми Modern-приложениями AppX.

Как в Powershell установить роли и компоненты используя Install-WindowsFeature и Add-WindowsCapability

Картинка с сайта: windoro.ru

Для установки ролей и компонентов в Powershell есть 3 основные команды Install-WindowsFeature, Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature и Add-WindowsCapability. Каждая из этих команд имеет свое применение и может отличаться в разных релизах Windows. В этой статье будет рассмотрен процесс установки ролей и компонентов используя обе команды на примерах.

Навигация по посту

Типы команд устанавливающие роли с Powershell

Командлеты, которые относятся только к Powershell разделяются на 3 типа:

Вывести все командлеты можно посмотреть так:

Если вы пользуетесь старыми версиями ОС, то какие-то модули могут быть не доступны. 2019 сервер одинаков с 2016:

Буква А обозначает алиас. Add-WindowsFeature, в 2016+ эта та же команда, что и Install-WondowsFeature.

Сама установка ролей не обозначает и ее настройку. После установки, обычно, появляется множество команд для настройки роли.

Получение списка ролей и их установка с Powershell Install-WindowsFeature

Что бы получить список ролей можно использовать Get-WindowsFeature. Эта команда, как и все ‘WindowsFeature’, может работать локально и удаленно. По умолчанию она возвращает роли и компоненты. Несколько примеров выполнения командлета:

Сам пакет WindowsFeature (модуль ServerManager) может быть установлен на Windows 10 с RSAT.

Базовая установка роли, но не совсем верная, на примере Active Directory Domain Services, будет следующей:

Перед использованием командлета обратите внимание на 2 параметра, которые вы можете указать:

Если вы забудете указать параметры указанные выше, то команду можно будет выполнить повторно с их включением.

Так же доступны следующие параметры:

Если бы я устанавливал Active Directory на обычный GUI сервер, удаленно, то это бы выглядело так:

Если удаленный сервер работает под другими учетными данными, то передать их можно использовав команду ‘Get-Credential’. В ‘ComputerName’ можно указывать как DNS имя, так и IP адрес.

Пример установки нескольких ролей подряд, удаленно и под другими учетными данными:

Удалить роль можно так:

Если добавить параметр ‘Remove’, то роль будет удалена еще и с папки ‘WinSxS’. Остальные параметры аналогичны.

Установка компонентов с Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature

Список компонентов, с которыми можно работать команда группы ‘WindowsOptionalFeature’ аналогичны следующем окну:

Картинка с сайта: windoro.ru

Учитывая, что это окно уже является наследием более старых систем (до Windows 10), вы можете не найти все компоненты. Например RSAT, который раньше можно было найти в этом окне, теперь доступен через интерфейс ‘Приложения и возможности’ Windows 10. Команды в этих случаях тоже отличаются.

Для получения всех компонентов нужно выполнить следующую команду:

Параметр ‘-Online’ говорит, что пакеты будут искаться на этом же компьютере. Можно поставить ‘-Path’, с указанием пути до образа Windows, что бы увидеть какие компоненты доступны там.

Несколько вариантов выполнения команды:

Учитывая, что команды относятся к модулю ‘DISM’, мы можем работать с образами используя параметры ‘PackagePath’ и ‘Path’. Такая возможность есть во всех командах ‘WindowsOptionalFeature’.

Для того, что бы включить компонент нужно выполнить следующую команду:

В следующей команде указано, что нам нужно собрать все логи (а не только ошибки) и сохранить их по указанному пути:

Отключение приложения выполняется следующим образом:

WindowsOptionalFeature так же используется для подготовки Nano сервера т.к. там нет WindowsFeature и пакеты с ролями сначала импортируются, а затем включаются.

Установка компонентов с Add-WindowsCapability

В предыдущем разделе было упомянуто о переезде многих компонентов в интерфейс Windows 10. Командлеты ‘WindowsCapability’ работают именно с ними. Если мы выполним следующую команду, которая очень похожа на предыдущую, то мы увидим совершенно разные пакеты:

Эти компоненты соответствуют следующему окну в Windows 10:

Install or Uninstall Roles, Role Services, or Features

Applies To: Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2

In Windows ServerВ® 2012 R2 and Windows ServerВ® 2012, the Server Manager console and Windows PowerShellВ® cmdlets for Server Manager allow installation of roles and features to local or remote servers, or offline virtual hard disks (VHDs). You can install multiple roles and features on a single remote server or offline VHD in a single Add Roles and Features Wizard or Windows PowerShell session.

Server Manager cannot be used to manage a newer release of the Windows Server operating system. Server Manager running on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 cannot be used to install roles, role services, and features on servers that are running Windows Server 2012 R2.

You must be logged on to a server as an administrator to install or uninstall roles, role services, and features. If you are logged on to the local computer with an account that does not have administrator rights on your target server, right-click the target server in the Servers tile, and then click Manage As to provide an account that has administrator rights. The server on which you want to mount an offline VHD must be added to Server Manager, and you must have Administrator rights on that server.

For more information about what roles, role services, and features are, see Roles, Role Services, and Features.

This topic contains the following sections.

Install roles, role services, and features by using the Add Roles and Features Wizard

In a single session in the Add Roles and Features Wizard, you can install roles, role services, and features on the local server, a remote server that has been added to Server Manager, or an offline VHD. For more information about how to add a server to Server Manager to manage, see Add Servers to Server Manager.

If you are running Server Manager on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8, you can use the Add Roles and Features Wizard to install roles and features only on servers and offline VHDs that are running Windows Server 2012. If you are running Server Manager on Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1, you can use the Add Roles and Features Wizard to install roles and features only on servers and offline VHDs that are running Windows Server 2012 R2.

To install roles and features by using the Add Roles and Features Wizard

If Server Manager is already open, go on to the next step. If Server Manager is not already open, open it by doing one of the following.

On the Windows desktop, start Server Manager by clicking Server Manager in the Windows taskbar.

On the Windows Start screen, click the Server Manager tile.

On the Manage menu, click Add Roles and Features.

On the Before you begin page, verify that your destination server and network environment are prepared for the role and feature you want to install. Click Next.

On the Select installation type page, select Role-based or feature-based installation to install all parts of roles or features on a single server, or Remote Desktop Services installation to install either a virtual machine-based desktop infrastructure or a session-based desktop infrastructure for Remote Desktop Services. The Remote Desktop Services installation option distributes logical parts of the Remote Desktop Services role across different servers as needed by administrators. Click Next.

On the Select destination server page, select a server from the server pool, or select an offline VHD. To select an offline VHD as your destination server, first select the server on which to mount the VHD, and then select the VHD file. For information about how to add servers to your server pool, see Add Servers to Server Manager. After you have selected the destination server, click Next.

Select roles, select role services for the role if applicable, and then click Next to select features.

As you proceed, the Add Roles and Features Wizard automatically informs you if conflicts were found on the destination server that can prevent selected roles or features from installation or normal operation. You are also prompted to add any roles, role services, or features that are required by the roles or features that you have selected.

Additionally, if you plan to manage the role remotely, either from another server, or from a Windows client-based computer that is running Remote Server Administration Tools, you can opt not to install management tools and snap-ins for roles on the destination server. By default, in the Add Roles and Features Wizard, management tools are selected for installation.

On the Confirm installation selections page, review your role, feature, and server selections. If you are ready to install, click Install.

You can also export your selections to an XML-based configuration file that you can use for unattended installations with Windows PowerShell. To export the configuration you specified in this Add Roles and Features Wizard session, click Export configuration settings, and then save the XML file to a convenient location.

You can specify a WIM file as an alternate feature file source when you are installing roles, role services, and features on a running, physical server. The source path for a WIM file should be in the following format, with WIM as a prefix, and the index in which the feature files are located as a suffix: WIM:e:sourcesinstall.wim:4. However, you cannot use a WIM file directly as a source for installing roles, role services, and features to an offline VHD; you must either mount the offline VHD and point to its mount path for source files, or you must point to a folder that contains a copy of the contents of the WIM file.

After you click Install, the Installation progress page displays installation progress, results, and messages such as warnings, failures, or post-installation configuration steps that are required for the roles or features that you installed. In Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012, you can close the Add Roles and Features Wizard while installation is still in progress, and view installation results or other messages in the Notifications area at the top of the Server Manager console. Click the Notifications flag icon to see more details about installations or other tasks that you are performing in Server Manager.

Install roles, role services, and features by using Windows PowerShell cmdlets

The Server Manager deployment cmdlets for Windows PowerShell function similarly to the GUI-based Add Roles and Features Wizard and Remove Roles and Features Wizard, with an important difference. In Windows PowerShell, unlike in the Add Roles and Features Wizard, management tools and snap-ins for a role are not included by default. To include management tools as part of a role installation, add the IncludeManagementTools parameter to the cmdlet. If you are installing roles and features on a server that is running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012, you can add a role’s management tools to an installation, but GUI-based management tools and snap-ins cannot be installed on servers that are running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server. Only command-line and Windows PowerShell management tools can be installed on the Server Core installation option.

To install roles and features by using the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet

Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell session with elevated user rights.

If you are installing roles and features on a remote server, you do not need to run Windows PowerShell with elevated user rights.

On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows PowerShell on the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.

On the Windows Start screen, right-click the tile for Windows PowerShell, and then on the app bar, click Run as Administrator.

In Windows PowerShell 3.0 and later releases of Windows PowerShell, there is no need to import the Server Manager cmdlet module into the Windows PowerShell session before running cmdlets that are part of the module. A module is automatically imported the first time you run a cmdlet that is part of the module. Also, neither Windows PowerShell cmdlets nor the feature names used with the cmdlets are case-sensitive.

Type Get-Help Install-WindowsFeature, and then press Enter to view the syntax and accepted parameters for the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet.

Type the following, and then press Enter, where feature_name represents the command name of a role or feature that you want to install (obtained in step 2), and computer_name represents a remote computer on which you want to install roles and features. Separate multiple values for feature_name by using commas. The Restart parameter automatically restarts the destination server if required by the role or feature installation.

To install roles and features on an offline VHD, add both the ComputerName parameter and the VHD parameter. If you do not add the ComputerName parameter, the cmdlet assumes that the local computer is mounted to access the VHD. The ComputerName parameter contains the name of the server on which to mount the VHD, and the VHD parameter contains the path to the VHD file on the specified server.

Example:В В The following cmdlet installs the Active Directory Domain Services role and the Group Policy Management feature on a remote server, ContosoDC1. Management tools and snap-ins are added by using the IncludeManagementTools parameter, and the destination server is to be restarted automatically, if installation requires that the servers be restarted.

Remove roles, role services, and features by using the Remove Roles and Features Wizard

You must be logged on to a server as an administrator to uninstall roles, role services, and features. If you are logged on to the local computer with an account that does not have administrator rights on your uninstallation target server, right-click the target server in the Servers tile, and then click Manage As to provide an account that has administrator rights. The server on which you want to mount an offline VHD must be added to Server Manager, and you must have Administrator rights on that server.

To remove roles and features by using the Remove Roles and Features Wizard

If Server Manager is already open, go on to the next step. If Server Manager is not already open, open it by doing one of the following.

On the Windows desktop, start Server Manager by clicking Server Manager in the Windows taskbar.

On the Windows Start screen, click the Server Manager tile.

On the Manage menu, click Remove Roles and Features.

On the Before you begin page, verify that you have prepared for removing roles or features from a server. Click Next.

On the Select destination server page, select a server from the server pool, or select an offline VHD. To select an offline VHD, first select the server on which to mount the VHD, and then select the VHD file.

For information about how to add servers to your server pool, see Add Servers to Server Manager. After you have selected the destination server, click Next.

You can use the Remove Roles and Features Wizard to remove roles and features from servers that are running the same release of Windows Server that supports the version of Server Manager that you are using. You cannot remove roles, role services, or features from servers that are running Windows Server 2012 R2, if you are running Server Manager on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8. You cannot use the Remove Roles and Features Wizard to remove roles and features from servers that are running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2003.

Select roles, select role services for the role if applicable, and then click Next to select features.

As you proceed, the Remove Roles and Features Wizard automatically prompts you to remove any roles, role services, or features that cannot run without the roles or features that you are removing.

Additionally, you can opt to remove management tools and snap-ins for roles on the destination server. By default, in the Remove Roles and Features Wizard, management tools are selected for removal. You can leave management tools and snap-ins if you plan to use the selected server to manage the role on other remote servers.

On the Confirm removal selections page, review your role, feature, and server selections. If you are ready to remove the roles or features, click Remove.

After you click Remove, the Removal progress page displays removal progress, results, and messages such as warnings, failures, or post-removal configuration steps that are required, such as restarting the destination server. In Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012, you can close the Remove Roles and Features Wizard while removal is still in progress, and view removal results or other messages in the Notifications area at the top of the Server Manager console. Click the Notifications flag to see more details about removals or other tasks that you are performing in Server Manager.

Remove roles, role services, and features by using Windows PowerShell cmdlets

The Server Manager deployment cmdlets for Windows PowerShell function similarly to the GUI-based Remove Roles and Features Wizard, with an important difference. In Windows PowerShell, unlike in the Remove Roles and Features Wizard, management tools and snap-ins for a role are not removed by default. To remove management tools as part of a role removal, add the IncludeManagementTools parameter to the cmdlet. If you are uninstalling roles and features from a server that is running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012, this parameter removes command-line and Windows PowerShell management tools for the specified roles and features.

To remove roles and features by using the Uninstall-WindowsFeature cmdlet

Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell session with elevated user rights.

If you are uninstalling roles and features from a remote server, you do not need to run Windows PowerShell with elevated user rights.

On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows PowerShell on the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.

On the Windows Start screen, right-click the Windows PowerShell tile, and then on the app bar, click Run as Administrator.

In Windows PowerShell 3.0 and later releases of Windows PowerShell, there is no need to import the Server Manager cmdlet module into the Windows PowerShell session before running cmdlets that are part of the module. A module is automatically imported the first time you run a cmdlet that is part of the module. Also, neither Windows PowerShell cmdlets nor the feature names used with the cmdlets are case-sensitive.

Type Get-Help Uninstall-WindowsFeature, and then press Enter to view the syntax and accepted parameters for the Uninstall-WindowsFeature cmdlet.

Type the following, and then press Enter, where feature_name represents the command name of a role or feature that you want to remove (obtained in step 2), and computer_name represents a remote computer from which you want to remove roles and features. Separate multiple values for feature_name by using commas. The Restart parameter automatically restarts destination servers if required by the role or feature removal.

To remove roles and features from an offline VHD, add both the ComputerName parameter and the VHD parameter. If you do not add the ComputerName parameter, the cmdlet assumes that the local computer is mounted to access the VHD. The ComputerName parameter contains the name of the server on which to mount the VHD, and the VHD parameter contains the path to the VHD file on the specified server.

Example:В В The following cmdlet removes the Active Directory Domain Services role and the Group Policy Management feature from a remote server, ContosoDC1. Management tools and snap-ins are also removed, and the destination server is to be restarted automatically, if removal requires that the servers be restarted.

Install roles and features on multiple servers by running a Windows PowerShell script

Although you cannot use the Add Roles and Features Wizard to install roles, role services, and features on more than one target server in a single wizard session, you can use a Windows PowerShell script to install roles, role services, and features on multiple target servers that you are managing by using Server Manager. The script that you use to perform batch deployment, as this process is called, points to an XML configuration file that you can create easily by using the Add Roles and Features Wizard, and clicking Export configuration settings after advancing through the wizard to the Confirm installation selections page of the Add Roles and Features Wizard.

All target servers that are specified in your script must be running the release of Windows Server that matches the version of Server Manager you are running on the local computer. For example, if you are running Server Manager on WindowsВ® 8, you can install roles, role services, and features on servers that are running Windows Server 2012. If GUI-based management tools are added to the installation, the installation process automatically converts target servers that are running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server to the full installation option (server with a full GUI). The script provided in this section is an example of how batch deployment can be performed by using the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet and a Windows PowerShell script. There are other possible scripts and methods of performing batch deployment to multiple servers. To search for or provide other scripts for deploying roles and features, search the Script Center Repository.

To install roles and features on multiple servers

If you have not already done so, create an XML configuration file that contains the roles, role services, and features that you want installed on multiple servers. You can create this configuration file by running the Add Roles and Features Wizard, selecting roles, role services, and features that you want, and clicking Export configuration settings after advancing through the wizard to the Confirm installation selections page. Save the configuration file to a convenient location. You do not need to click Install or complete the wizard if you are running it only to create a configuration file.

Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell session with elevated user rights.

On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows PowerShell on the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.

On the Windows Start screen, right-click the Windows PowerShell tile, and then on the app bar, click Run as Administrator.

Copy and paste the following script into your Windows PowerShell session.

Target servers are automatically restarted if required by the roles and features that you select.

Run the function by doing the following.

Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell session with elevated user rights.

If you are installing roles and features from a remote server, you do not need to run Windows PowerShell with elevated user rights.

On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows PowerShell on the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.

On the Windows Start screen, right-click the Windows PowerShell tile, and then on the app bar, click Run as Administrator.

On a server that is running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012, type powershell into a command prompt, and then press Enter.

Type the following command, and then press Enter. In the following example, the source files are located in a side-by-side store (abbreviated to as SxS) in installation media on drive D.

If you want the command to use Windows Update as a source for missing feature files, or if a default source has already been configured by using Group Policy, you do not need to add the Source parameter unless you want to specify a different source.

On the Manage menu in Server Manager, click Add Roles and Features.

Select a destination server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 orWindows Server 2012.

On the Select features page of the Add Roles and Features Wizard, select .NET Framework 3.5.

If the local computer is allowed to do so by Group Policy settings, the installation process attempts to get missing feature files by using Windows Update. Click Install; you do not need to go on to the next step.

Provide a path to a side-by-side store (referred to as SxS) in installation media, or to a WIM file. In the following example, installation media is located on drive D.

D:SourcesSxS

To specify a WIM file, add a WIM: prefix, and add the index of the image to use in the WIM file as a suffix, as shown in the following example.

WIM:\server_nameshareinstall.wim:3

Click OK, and then click Install.

Do one of the following to open a Windows PowerShell session with elevated user rights.

If you are installing roles and features from a remote server, you do not need to run Windows PowerShell with elevated user rights.

On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows PowerShell on the taskbar, and then click Run as Administrator.

On the Windows Start screen, right-click the Windows PowerShell tile, and then on the app bar, click Run as Administrator.

On a server that is running the Server Core installation option, type powershell into a command prompt, and then press Enter.

Run one of the following DISM commands.

If the computer has access to Windows Update, or a default source file location has already been configured in Group Policy, run the following command.

If the computer has access to installation media, run a command similar to the following. In the following example, the operating system installation media is located on drive D. The LimitAccess parameter prevents the command from attempting to contact Windows Update or a server that is running WSUS.

The DISM command is case-sensitive.

Configure alternate sources for feature files in Group Policy

You must be a member of the Administrators group to change Group Policy settings on the local computer. If Group Policy settings for the computer you want to manage are controlled at the domain level, you must be a member of the Domain Administrators group to change Group Policy settings.

To configure a default alternate source path in Group Policy

In Local Group Policy Editor or Group Policy Management Console, open the following policy setting.

Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesSystemSpecify settings for optional component installation and component repair

Select Enabled to enable the policy setting, if it is not already enabled.

In the Alternate source file path text box in the Options area, specify a fully qualified path to a shared folder or a WIM file. To specify a WIM file as an alternate source file location, add the prefix WIM: to the path, and add the index of the image to use in the WIM file as a suffix. The following are examples of values that you can specify.

Path to a shared folder: **\server_nameshare**folder_name

Path to a WIM file, in which 3 represents the index of the image in which the feature files are found: WIM:\server_nameshareinstall.wim:3

If you do not want computers that are controlled by this policy setting to search for missing feature files in Windows Update, select Never attempt to download payload from Windows Update.

If the computers that are controlled by this policy setting typically receive updates through WSUS, but you prefer to go through Windows Update and not WSUS to find missing feature files, select Contact Windows Update directly to download repair content instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

Click OK when you are finished changing this policy setting, and then close the Group Policy editor.

Introduction

There’s a lot of roles and features for Windows Server, but there are also many different ways of installing these. 

It’s good to know the different ways of installing these roles or features, because if you’re using an operating system without a Graphical User Interface (GUI) there will be no Server Manager to perform the simple «next-next-next»  installation.

Sometimes even the Server Manager GUI might be giving errors for various reasons, then these other ways of installing the Windows Server roles or features might come in handy.

Windows Server platform support

There are five (5) different ways of installing Windows Server roles and features, three (3) of them are from the command line or PowerShell.

With GUI

• Server Manager
• Windows Admin Center (WAC)

Without GUI

• Install-WindowsFeature (replaces Add-WindowsFeature)
• Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature
• DISM

The PowerShell cmdlets

Let’s take a look at the different PowerShell cmdlets for installing Windows Server roles and features:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature

Install-WindowsFeature

What are the differences between these different methods of installing the Windows Server roles and features?

The Server Manager PowerShell cmdlets, Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature and Install-WindowsFeature can both work against remote computers, while DISM only works locally.

Installing a Windows Role/Feature with Server Manager

To install a Windows Server role or feature by using a Graphical User Interface (GUI), we can achieve this with the builtin Server Manager.

1. Open the Server Manager on the Windows Server.

2. Click on Add roles and features which can be found in the center of Server Manager.

Another way is to go to Manage which can be found in the upper right corner, then click on Add Roles and Features.

3. In the Add Roles and Features Wizard, leave the check mark on the Role-based or feature-based installation and click Next.

click on the computer to connect to it.

Note: If there are no computers added, we can add them by clicking on the
+ Add button in the upper left corner.

3. Once we are connected to the computer, under the Tools pane, go to
Roles & Features by clicking on it.

4. Locate the role/feature that we want to install.

5. As we mouse hoover over the role/feature, we notice a check box appearing next to the name of the role/feature,
click the check box next to the role/feature name to select the role/feature that we want to install.

6. Once the role/feature is selected we can see a check mark next to the name of the role/feature, we can also see the selected items in the upper right corner.

7. To install the role/feature, click on the + Install button at the top.

8. Windows Admin Center will now start calculating the dependencies of the role/feature.

9. Once the calculation is done, click Yes to start installing the role/feature.

10. We can view the progress of the installation in Windows Admin Center by clicking on the
bell at the upper right corner.

11. Once the role/feature has been installed, we should see the following:

12. We should now also see in under the Roles and Features that the role/feature has the state marked as Installed.

Installing a Windows Feature with PowerShell

Installing Windows Server features with PowerShell is very quick and efficient, this can also be automated with scripts.

Method 1 — Install-WindowsFeature

1. Go to Start and search for «PowerShell«, right-click Windows PowerShell and choose Run as administrator.

2. Type the PowerShell command below to get all the available roles and features:

If we don’t know the entire name of the role/feature, we can simply use wildcards to search for them:

Get-WindowsFeature -Name Telnet*

3. Take note of the Name field, this is what we need to install the role / feature, select the role or feature by copying the name of it.

4. Now type the command below to install the role / feature:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Telnet-Client

5. Once the role/feature installation has completed, we should see the following:

6. To verify that the role/feature got installed, we can run the command below:

Get-WindowsFeature -Name Telnet*

Method 2 — Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature

1. In the elevated PowerShell window, type the command below to retrieve the available optional Windows features:

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online

This list is very long and it’s difficult to find the feature that we want, so we can use wildcards to easily find the feature that we want.

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Telnet*

Note: The state of the Windows feature is marked as Disabled.

2. Now that we know the name of the feature that we want to install, we can run the command below to enable the Windows feature:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName TelnetClient

3. Once the Windows feature has been enabled, we should see the following:

4. To verify that the feature is enabled, we can run the command below again:

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Telnet*

The Windows feature state is now marked as Enabled.

Installing a Windows Feature with DISM

1. In the elevated PowerShell window, type the command below to retrieve the list of all available Windows features:

Dism /Online /Get-Features

2. Locate the Windows feature that we want to install:

The list is very long and it might be time consuming to find the feature that we want to install.

If we want to do this in another way we can print out the list of roles and features to a text file by using the > C:TempFeatureList.txt at the end of the command, then simply perform a search for the role in the text file to identify
the exact name of the Windows feature.

Dism /Online /Get-Features > C:TempFeatureList.txt

The FeatureList.txt file has now been created under C:Temp.

Open the FeatureList.txt file and search for the feature that we want to install.

We should then find the feature, make note of the Feature name:

3. Now that we know the name of the feature that we want to install, we can run the command below to get more information about it:

Dism /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:TelnetClient

Note: The state of the feature is marked as Disabled.

3. Type the command below to enable the Windows feature:

Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient

4. Let’s verify that the Windows feature has been enabled by running the command below once more:

Dism /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:TelnetClient

So you’re ready to start configuring your Windows Server 2016 system, but you don’t know where to start? A good place to start would be the Add Roles and Features Wizard. The Add Roles and Features Wizard is a powerful tool that allows you to install and initialize the features and roles that the OS provides and «snap-in» functions to the server that would normally take a long series of commands in a terminal or powershell.

The Add Roles and Features Wizard was first introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 and has since become the main OS feature, allowing most users to install roles and features easily.

This guide will go into the steps on how to use this feature on Windows Server 2016.

In this lesson, you are going to learn how to install Windows Server Roles and Features.

You can think of a Role or Features like a Snap-In or a Module that you add onto your base operating system installation to provide more services to your network. For example, you can install the DNS server role and make this server a DNS server for your network. You can also install the Hyper-V server role and begin managing virtual machines on this server.

So the way we are going to get started is by opening Server Manager and at the top right, we have the Manage menu. Click on it and select Add Roles and Features.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

The Add Roles and Features Wizard appear to walk us through the installation of a Role or Feature.

The first window Before you begin gives us information on what we can do with it.

Click Next to begin.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

Now, we need to Select the installation type. Here 9 times out of 10 you will be doing a Role-based or feature-based installation.

We can choose Remote Desktop Services installation, and we can set this up for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure which is commonly referred to as VDI. Now, that really goes out of the scope of what we are trying to do in this course so we select the first option Role-based or feature-based installation which is what you will be doing 99 out of 100 times in the IT field. 

Click Next to continue.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

In the Select destination server window, the only option we have is the DE01 on the server list. This is the Desktop Experience server that we are currently running on.

Now, this is what I talked to you about before, that you can add another server, like a Windows Server Core for example as a managed server and we can install Roles and Features on that server from this DE01 server. But since we haven’t set anything like that yet we are going to select DE01 and click Next.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

Next, we have a list of all the Server roles that are available for installation. What we are going to do is install the DNS Server Role. 

Click the checkbox next to DNS Server.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

This is going to prompt for a new window that suggests we also need to install these required features. Click Add Features and then Next on the previous windows to continue the wizard.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

We are brought to the Select Features window.

If we want to install for example .NET Framework 3.5 Features we can click on the checkbox next to it and we can expand the selection and click on additional features if necessary.

Click Next to continue.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

Now, this is the DNS Server window with a basic explanation of the Role we have selected to install.

Click Next.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

Now, on the Confirm installation selections window, we need to specify an alternate path to an alternate source path. The way we do that is with the installation media.

If the ISO is still mounted after installation we can navigate to it by right-clicking it and selecting Open. 

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

Double-click on the sources folder and double-click on sxs and we copy that path to our clipboard.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

And back to the wizard, we click on Specify an alternate source path.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

And specify the Path: D:\sources\sxs and click OK.

Картинка с сайта: serveracademy.com

Generally, this is not a requirement but since we are installing .NET Framework 3.5 Features those files are not readily available so that’s why we need to specify the source files on the installation media.

Now, click on the Install button to begin the installation.
